- The core curriculum of the program is developed from courses offered in the Departments of Agriculture, Food and Resource Sciences; Business, Management and Accounting; and Mathematics and Computer Science.
- By combining these areas in the curriculum, the agribusiness program is designed to: (1) meet the requirements for agribusiness competency essential for today's production agriculture, and (2) provide students sufficient expertise to allow them to enter management levels of diverse agribusiness firms. In addition, the curriculum includes a broad range of elective courses, which allows the student in agribusiness to structure a program consistent with his/her personal interests and goals.
- Agribusiness students are also strongly encouraged to be involved in an internship or cooperative education program with a university-approved agribusiness firm, a federal or state agency, or an international organization during their junior or senior year. This arrangement provides students with training, experience, and a first-hand look at various career opportunities.
- A degree in Agribusiness prepares students to teach, to conduct research, to pursue graduate and professional degrees, to work in government and business, and numerous other related jobs such as: Business and Technology, Marketing and Management, International Trade and Development, Economic Research, Commodity Brokerage, Computer Science, Public Relations Specialist, Market Forecaster, Technical Representative, Extension Educator, Market Reporter, Financial Analyst, and Financial Representative.
